Surveillance Housing & Mounting Brackets

Match the housing or bracket to your camera model and form factor (dome, bullet, PTZ), confirm compatibility with the camera’s mounting pattern and cable routing, and consider environmental requirements such as weatherproof (IP rating) or vandal-resistant (IK rating) construction

Choose housings and brackets made from corrosion-resistant materials like aluminum or stainless steel, look for IP65/IP66/IP67 ratings for dust and water protection, and consider IK08 or higher for impact resistance in vandal-prone areas

Universal mounts work for many cameras if the mounting holes and weight capacity match, but some cameras require brand-specific or model-specific brackets for exact fit, cable management, or PTZ functionality

Check your camera’s dimensions and weight, include any housings or accessories, and choose a mount rated to support at least 20–30% more than the combined weight to ensure stability and safety

Common options include wall mounts, ceiling mounts, pole mounts, corner mounts, and parapet mounts; select anchors or adapter plates appropriate for the surface material (wood, concrete, metal) and follow manufacturer torque and anchor recommendations

Use housings with built-in cable glands or conduit entries, apply outdoor-rated sealants on penetrations, use weatherproof connectors, and route cables to minimize exposure to water runoff and tampering

Periodically inspect for corrosion, loose fasteners, damaged seals, and dirt or debris on lenses; re-tighten mounting hardware, replace worn gaskets, and clean lenses with non-abrasive cleaners as needed
